Don't mess with anybody on a Monday. It's a bad, bad day.

Harriet never minded admitting she didn't know something. So what, she thought, I could always learn.

I feel there's a funny little hole in me that wasn't there before, like a splinter in your finger, but this is somewhere above my stomach.

You know what? You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life.

Gone is gone. I never miss anything or anyone because it all becomes a lovely memory. I guard my memories and love them, but I don't get in them and lie down.

There are as many ways to live as there are people.

Life is a struggle and a good spy gets in there and fights.

If you ever get in real trouble, don't panic. Sit down and think about it. Remember two things, always. There must be some way out of it and there must be humor in it somewhere.

There is no sight so ugly as the human face in anger.

Sometimes you have to lie. But to yourself you must always tell the truth.

It won't do you a bit of good to know everything if you don't do anything with it.

If you don’t want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won’t have to work.

How can anyone truthfully claim to love someone when they’re not prepared to share everything with that person, including their past?

A thought enters

Waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.

I hope they're still making women like my momma. She always told me to do the right thing. She always told me to have pride in myself; she said a good name is better than money.

When the uncarved wood is split, its parts are put to use. When the sage is put to use, he becomes the head.

Like the children we will never ever cease to be.

It is a modest creed, and yet Pleasant if one considers it, To own that death itself must be, Like all the rest, a mockery.

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be.

If the person you delegated to does the job twice as well as you would have done it, consider yourself a leader.
